Porsche Atlanta now charging $4.95 to pick up ordered parts in person. What is that all about? Pay stupid prices on shipping or pay to pick up your parts for a FEE. Must be a real pain in the ass to wait on people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

That’s weird.
At our local dealership, I can order parts off their discount site - available to anyone (they also have a retail site), pickup in person, eat their snacks, use the bathroom, take some magazines and they are nothing but friendly. No surcharge for anything. BYW - The Delaware discount site has some really great prices. Not everything but it’s worth checking out. https://www.delawareporscheparts.com/ |

That Deleware Porsche Parts site is cool, but you can't search for parts by models earlier than mid 80's and no option for 914 searches. |

Then realized there is a separate tab for "classic parts" search and you can select the 914 there. |

Then realized there is a separate tab for "classic parts" search and you can select the 914 there. Easiest way is to enter the part number in the search bar. If you live nearby, there is no sales tax in Delaware so you can save a lot of money picking up a big part vs shipping. I purchased the front fenders and rear quarters for my 912. True Porsche parts at a 40% discount and saved hundreds by picking them up vs shipping and another couple hundred tax free. And no, the salesmen are not working the parts counter. I know one and they do very well. |
